If you travel on US Highway 129 between Hall and White counties prepare for traffic shifts and possible delays this week.
Between midnight tonight, September 9, and 6 a.m. Tuesday, September 10, construction crews will close one lane of traffic over the Chattahoochee River. This overnight lane closure will allow crews to continue pouring on the new Longstreet Bridge driving surface.
On Tuesday at 10 a.m., crews will shift traffic approaching the Longstreet Bridge onto the newly paved lanes. This shift will guide traffic to the newly constructed lanes and back on to the current Longstreet Bridge until late December 2019 when the new Longstreet Bridge will open to traffic.
Also beginning Tuesday, September 10, one lane of traffic will be closed for daytime construction at the East Fork Little River Bridge project north of Gainesville. Traffic between Lakeview Drive and Lawson Drive will be shifted into one lane daily between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. through Thursday, September 12.
GDOT officials urge motorist to drive alert while navigating through this work zone.
